Mathias Kom's Holy Hullabaloo

Every songwriter reaches that point where they can't possibly put off making a holiday album any longer. 2020 was that point for me; there hasn't been a lot to be happy about this year, and writing a bunch of goofy holiday songs was a nice distraction from the shitstorm.
But I've always wondered why the holiday song industry has been so focused on Christmas, and to a lesser and more token extent, Hanukkah. What about all the other great holidays people celebrate around the world? There are thousands of them, and surely they all deserve a song or two.
So please enjoy this deeply silly album - for free, especially if, like many folks at this time of this incredibly terrible year, you're feeling strapped for cash. On the other hand, if you can afford to toss a few guineas in our direction, please do.
Making this was a lot of fun, and special thanks go to my supporters on Patreon (www.patreon.com/mathiaskom) for their encouragement and suggestions; to Ariel for the amazing album cover and for singing; to Darren for shredding; to Cian and Mary in Hope River and Dave and Coco in Port Greville for the gift of blessed solitude; to Ro Cemm and Dave Ulrich for encouraging me to write my first ever holiday songs for thelineofbestfit.com / Ho! Ho! Ho! Canada and Zunior.com, and most especially to my long-distance collaborators in the UK who gamely agreed to lend their voices to my imaginary supergroup "Bank Aid" with the song "Are They Even Aware It's a Bank Holiday?" More specific info and lyrics, is listed with the individual songs - just click on "lyrics" next to each track.
